To Buy a Gun

Katherine Snelson sent this to me, Liz Webfoot.  I plan to send it to every politician I know.  It is absolutely BRILLIANT!

How about we treat every man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion – mandatory 48-hour waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he’s about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence…Let’s close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun.  Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, calling him a murderer, and begging him not to buy a gun.
